Church Of St John

The Church of St John is a parish church that was originally a service wing of Hebburn Hall. It was converted into a church between 1886 and 1887 by F R Wilson. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and has a roof made of Welsh slate. It is oriented from north-northwest to south-southeast and is unaisled. At the south end, there is an east transept with an entrance porch in the angle, and a west porch is located at the north end.

The church features decorated style windows, including seven three-light windows in the nave and two two-light windows in the transept, with elaborate tracery over seven lights at the north end. These windows are positioned between buttresses that have gablets and set-backs. On the south elevation, there are two massive buttresses that have five alternate gablets and set-backs, situated between one-light cusped windows and flanking a tall two-light window. The roof is topped with a tall pierced, coped belfry that is supported by the south buttresses, along with a central flèche featuring eight gabled louvres.
